mircea_popescu: the "ran a strange online psychotherapy
thing" remarkably absent.
mircea_popescu: "Originally employed as a research scientist in cognition, complex systems and biologically inspired computation, Dr Greg Mulhauser later moved
to business strategy roles and advised on corporate venturing and M&A projects. With educational background in mathematics, philosophy, and mental health, he has worked at
the Pentagon, UK universities, and
telecommunications giant BT."
ozbot: About Online
Therapist Dr Greg Mulhauser
mircea_popescu: dexX7 it's
trivial
to verify you're X if x is well known.
parseval: If he doesn't understand
that an exchange mod is insufficient proof of identity, I'd question his understanding of other parts of
the BTC securities market
Namworld: Compared
to
things like BTC-GARDEN/LABCOIN/ActiveMining
parseval: As in, 'my identity has been verified by someone who could afford 10 shares of
this stock'
Namworld: The actual guy has been around long before
the Bitcoin era according
to domain registration. People seem
to like his articles on finances. IF he can provide proofs of who he is, I guess 1500 BTC isn't
too ridiculous.
parseval: heh. 'my identity has been verified by one of
the exchange moderators'
parseval: I don't know. I remember it being asked
that he link something on his page as proof, but I didn't read whether he ever did it
Namworld: Cause copying someone and making a website claiming
to be related is as easy as counting
to 3... so is making a claim...
Namworld: Was any proof provided
the guy is indeed
the guy from mulhauser.net?
Namworld: Ok, so
there's btcgrowth.com which has
the same design and everything as mulhauser.net/psychologicalinvestor.com, BUT, albeit mulhauser.net links
to
the other websites of
the network, it doesn't link
to btcgrowth.com
parseval: I have no idea where
the demand for BTC-GROWTH is coming from.. everything I've read seems
to have a rather lackluster response
Namworld: "whereby
the fund issuer will receive an annual management fee of 2% of assets under management and participants share 20% of fund profits with
the issuer as a performance fee. Fees will be calculated monthly, with
the annual management fee applied on a pro-rata basis; effectively,
this
translates
to 0.17% per month."

the Methods of Rationality, Chapter 97: Roles, Pt 8
nubbins`: they used
to bleach
their faces in SK
nubbins`: who want
their skin
to be darker
nubbins`: it's mildly funny
that in every country i've visited, people
try so hard
to have pale skin
jurov: yes,
there has
to be a film where death character is fully
tanned
pankkake: when I see
tan people, I see diseased skin
nubbins`: everything is bad for your health, but
tanning makes you look aged
jurov: we use different words for
these
nubbins`: centuries later, people pay money for
the privilege of standing in front of lamps
that mummify your skin
nubbins`: Verb from Middle English
tannen, from late Old English
tannian (“to
tan a hide”), from Anglo-Norman
tanner, from
tan.
nubbins`: wow, goes all
the way back
to Sanskrit
nubbins`: i'm just now wondering whether
they share
the same origin
nubbins`: jurov,
the other kind of
tanning :P
nubbins`: they were kind enough
to give me a sprig of mint leaves
to hold under my nose
nubbins`: i went
to a
tannery in morocco once. rotten place
nubbins`: get floating ribs removed,
turn
them into a lovely necklace
nubbins`: and wanted
the gov't
to pay for excess skin removal
jurov: certainly yes, very fat people have
too much skin after liposuction
nubbins`: i wonder if anyone's donated skin from
their living body
jurov: In fact, we have had
to
turn away some potential donors, as we can accept only
the highest quality human skin.
nubbins`: wait,
the grocery store doesn't
take skin
nubbins`: suppose
they only accept skin as payment?
deadweasel: The human leather folks really should accept BTC
to protect
their highly discerning clients...

nubbins`: i knew a guy years ago who claimed
to be in
the business of
trading human parts
nubbins`: altho we all know nut sack would provide
the finest leather
Hollywood: They would have
to make it out of a really fat girl
nubbins`: stick your cock
thru
the vag-hole
nubbins`: or would
they just cut
the action zone out of a female's crotch
nubbins`: apparently
they pay handsomely for your hide
nubbins`: i find
this morbidly fascinating
jcpham: dog needed new collar. got
the dremel
tool
Duffer1: did its put
the lotion on its skin
to avoid getting
the hose again?
these are questions savy investors want
to know
nubbins`: i dunno, i'd wanna see
the human
nubbins`: only way
to be fair was
to exclude everybody and just party when we got home
mircea_popescu: i remember
the epic
thing a few years ago when california decided
to pay everyone it owed money
to in ious
pankkake: this is pretty common. politicians not paying
their employes, states not following
their own work laws, etc.
deadweasel: probably did it on purpose,
there is often someone in
the union working for
the other side.
mircea_popescu: A workers’ center based in New York City
that uses protests and other union-organizing
tactics
to push for an increase in
the minimum wage was sued by some of its own employees.
deadweasel: defloration demands *some experience. at least not start from zero with a cucumber and melon explaining how it works.
then you have
to
teach BJs and what not. PITA.
mircea_popescu: i dont
think defloration makes one more apt
to
train
tbh
deadweasel: who wants
to
take
the
time
to
train a virgin?
deadweasel: that's right!
that's some old shit
tho -- i
think not anymore, unless Islamic.
mircea_popescu: but
that's obsolete, as who
the fuck marries a virgin
these days
mircea_popescu: well historically you stick your finger in
the bride
to make sure she's no slut
deadweasel: so you
take care of
the couple if
they become invalids?
Diablo-D3: dexX7: we only are on
this planet for so long, why waste it doing shit
that doesnt matter
dexX7: you should
try it from
time
to
time, it's fun ;)
dexX7: Diablo-D3: i
think it's not necessary a proof of love, but something similar like birthday parties or funeral ceremonies
deadweasel: TAT, do a brides PT. Collect landless female peasants across
the globe and sell shares of it. One share = one house cleaning or BJ.
Diablo-D3: if
two people really love each other,
they dont need some several
thousand dollar ceremony
to prove it
to other people
Diablo-D3: I refuse
to be part of such a scam
deadweasel: nubbins, you did your wedding right. We make gobs off of
the 'wedding' conditioning of rich girls. If it's broke and you can't fix it, you might as well profit.
nubbins`: one of my artists does wedding bouquets on
the side, and she said it's actually insane how much money people spend on just flowers
nubbins`: but yes, it's crazy how much people spend on
them
deadweasel: Do
the finest, highest class weddings, charge 50-150K each, for one day.
